For sale 240z Dutch original.. can you spot whats wrong?

Maybe the body guy was going for the fender flare included look😁 The driver side door mirror looks like the old Galaxy 500 mirrors.

A Tabco replacement arch is only ~$125.00 here in the States--

I got them from a german?/swedish? company (Würth?)  lying in the pile of parts on my attic... dust on them from 30! years of lying..  Just Maybe... i'm gonna use them on my own old 240z with build in glasfiber  ( terrible ) rear fenderflares.

I would add a guess that the rear fenders have been "wedged" as well...

Bingo !!   After the rotten away wheelhousing they welded in a non original one!  It's not round like the front one.. The lip is wrong also..

Congrets! Jim!

Evidently much to square! In this pic you can see the fault really clearly..

Thanks for starting this topic.
I've been looking for a clean 240z here in the Netherlands and this one mentioned is for sale again:

Haha, Yes i have seen the new advert also and bart @bartsscooterservice  alerted me on the fact that it was the same one we had seen..

In March or so 2021 , i spoke to the owner on the phone and asked him if he did see something wrong with the rear fender.. i then carfully told him what was wrong.. he then told me it was not so bad.. but i think that he now wants to get rid of the car.. 

Still a nice car though.

Ouch.  Those rear wheel arches look like they came off my Jeep Comanche pickup.  He may think they look ok but personally, I think they look like I did them.

Offcourse it can be repaired, but it wheel take new wheel arches or maybe a whole rear quarters?

I could not see the problem until you pointed it out.  Now that's all i can see when i look at it.
